Wrestlemania X-8
Toronto, Canada
March 17th, 2002
A solid opening match. Could have used a few more minutes but RVD was on point here and Regal is always a joy.
2.5 / 5
A fine match here. Nothing special at all really but had some good moves.
2 / 5
A 3 minute crazy hardcore match. Not bad, nothing special. The run in was fun though.
1.5 / 5
Once this got going it was fun. Kane wasn’t the most agile or athletic but he tried here and this was prime era Kurt.
2.75 / 5
A bloody but god awful slow brawl. Felt old school but not in the best way. Some good spots but could have been trimmed down majorly. Taker played the bully heel here who dominated almost the entire match.
2.5 / 5
A short match that just never went above decent. The crowd didn’t care until Booker did the Spinarooni and the match didn’t have long enough to be anything special.
2.25 / 5
The crowd loved when Nash got involved but otherwise this wasn’t that great. Hall wasn’t anything special in his WWE run and this was at the end of Austins run at the time. He was all injured and unhappy and it sort of showed.
2 / 5
Another match that went a little too long. This was all to put Billy and Chuck over. Keibler got the biggest pop here next to Devon going through a table. Otherwise it was just bland moments between teams hitting their big moves.
1.5 / 5
This is a match that gets a high rating based off of everything except the match itself. The crowd was insane for this and the energy going into and around this match was over the top. As a match itself it really isn’t anything special but for the work around it is what makes it memorable.
3.75 / 5
This was a rough time slot to be in given the crowd was dead from Rock / Hogan. Trish was hometown girl here and didn’t even get a massive pop. This match had some good ideas and moments but just was a little sloppy. Trish and Lita weren’t at their top level here yet but they tried their best here.
2 / 5
Both guys worked hard here given the crowd was dead after Rock / Hogan. Had a good story going here with Hunter being a babyface. It was a solid match but was just in a hard spot.
3 / 5
